Gaming regulators have forced Crown Resorts to delay the opening of a new $2.4billion casino in Sydney, as the trading of Crown shares are suspended.

The chairman of NSW Liquor and Gaming on Wednesday afternoon formally requested that Crown postpone the launch of the new flagship Barangaroo facility, originally planned for December 14.

The future of the casino hangs in the balance as a long-running ILGA inquiry continues to hear damning arguments and evidence about Crown's fitness to run the new venue.

Chairman Phillip Crawford told reporters at a press conference the decision was made due to 'extremely concerning ongoing evidence' uncovered at the inquiry.

'We are hopeful that Crown Resorts will agree to our request to postpone opening of all gaming activities, which would be unable to begin without approval of these regulatory matters,' he said.

'The authority has found ongoing evidence before the Bergin Inquiry to be extremely concerning, that any gaming activity at the casino before the Inquiry's findings are released in February 2021.'

He added that delays were requested being regulatory approvals have been delayed - without which the casino cannot open.

The regulator suggested a 'limited opening' of the hotel and bar, but Mr Crawford said Crown refused the offer.

Crown said it had asked for the trading halt because it had received a letter from ILGA about the opening date of Crown Sydney.

'Unless ASX decides otherwise, the securities will remain in trading halt until the earlier of the commencement of normal trading on Friday, 20 November 2020 or when the announcement is released to the market,' the Crown statement said.

The inquiry commissioner Patricia Bergin will make recommendations in February about whether Crown is suitable to run the casino.

Crown's lawyers made a bombshell admission to the inquiry on Wednesday morning that money was likely laundered through its bank accounts, but insist the company is still fit to run the casino.

Crown's barrister Robert Craig SC admitted in closing submissions that it was more likely than not that two of the company's bank accounts had been used for money laundering, pointing to two expert reports the company commissioned.

The Riverbank and Southbank accounts have been a key focus of the inquiry after media reports alleged they were used to launder dirty cash.

Banks repeatedly closed the accounts because of money laundering fears, but those fears were not escalated to the board.

Ms Bergin expressed frustration at Crown for serving the expert reports at 11pm on Tuesday, saying it was a problem they arrived 'in the middle of the night' and with no notice, and after counsel assisting the inquiry had questioned multiple witnesses about the accounts.

Mr Craig admitted the company should have reviewed the bank accounts sooner.

Crown also admitted to shortcomings and mistakes in its anti-money laundering processes, but vowed it was cleaning up its act with a series of reforms, only some of which have come before its board.

Mr Craig advised Ms Bergin not to get 'bogged down' in the question of whether money laundering actually occurred, saying it was a distraction from the 'fundamental point' that large cash transactions should be deterred because they give rise to serious risks, and that Crown's new policies were directed to those risks.

Ms Bergin replied that the inquiry's terms of references demanded she consider whether money laundering happened.

Earlier on Wednesday, Crown counsel Neil Young QC denied that billionaire James Packer was a de facto director of Crown once he left the board.

'He was receiving some information and expressing some views, but that is a long way short of making actual operative decisions,' Mr Young said.

Mr Young argued that Crown could not be blamed for any flaws with an agreement by Mr Packer's privacy company to sell 19.99 per cent of its shares to Hong Kong firm Melco Resorts in May 2019.

The company did not know about the transaction and had no power to stop it, he said.

He vowed the relationship between Crown and its major shareholder, Mr Packer's private vehicle, would be 'stock standard' from now on, influencing the company only through its appointed directors.

Crown on Tuesday announced it would stop dealing with all junket operators, subject to consultation with gaming regulators in Victoria, Western Australia and NSW.

Counsel assisting the inquiry has recommended findings that Crown and Mr Packer are not presently fit to be associated with the new casino.

The inquiry continues.

The Victorian Government is preparing to crack down on Crown Casino, with a special commissioner to be appointed to scrutinise the company's suitability to hold a licence in the wake of a series of allegations against and damning admissions from the gambling giant.

The next review of the Crown Casino's licence, which is conducted every five years, will be brought forward as part of the special commissioner's work.

It follows a concession from Crown to a New South Wales inquiry last month that some of its accounts have likely been used for money laundering.

The last licence review was completed in 2018.

Premier Daniel Andrews this morning dismissed criticism that the decision to appoint a sessional commissioner was a reflection on the track record of the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR).

'It shouldn't be read down to be a criticism of the VCGLR, it's a dedicated and, if you like, bespoke piece of work. You need to know this industry in order to work out if those operating in it are fit and proper people,' Mr Andrews said.

In a statement to the stock exchange, Crown Resorts said it had 'actively engaged with the VCGLR in relation to the matters the subject of the ILGA Inquiry (in NSW), including on Crown's reform agenda'.

'Crown will continue to work cooperatively with the VCGLR to support this review.'

NSW has delayed granting Crown a licence for its new Sydney high-rollers casino at Barangaroo in the wake of the inquiry recommending the company is not fit to hold a licence.

That inquiry is due to hand down its findings in February.

However Victorian Gaming Minister Melissa Horne said there was a need for an immediate response in Victoria given 'concerning evidence' presented to the NSW investigation.

'This review is needed given the evidence we've seen come out of the NSW inquiry,' she said.

'While we await the findings of that investigation, it's appropriate to bring forward the next review to ensure Crown Melbourne is suitable to hold a licence in Victoria.'

The review will report back to Ms Horne next year.

The Victorians Green have called for the casino to have its licence suspended immediately while the review is carried out.

'The Greens have repeatedly called on the State Government to curb Crown's unacceptable behaviour, but sadly it has taken a NSW inquiry to spur them to act,' party leader Samantha Ratnam said.

'Given the damning evidence coming out of the inquiry — including bags of cash under desks, tampering with poker machine controls and money laundering — Crown shouldn't be allowed to retain its Victorian licence while this investigation takes place.'

Crown criticised over junkets, fined over poker machine buttons

Crown has been the subject of a series of allegations of improper conduct in recent years, including those aired on the ABC. They have included allegations about tampering with buttons on Crown's poker machines for which the company was fined $300,000.

Whistleblowers have previously raised concerns about money laundering and a failure of the Victorian regulator to do its job.

The Nine newspapers and 60 Minutes also featured a series of stories about organised crime links to lucrative foreign junket operators and issues around money laundering.

Up until now, the Andrews Government has backed the gambling regulator to keep checks on the casino despite widespread criticism the commission is toothless.

The VCGLR has been investigating the casino and the nation's anti-money laundering watchdog is also looking at the casino.

The revelations in the NSW inquiry placed major pressure on the Victorian Government and the VCGLR to take the allegations seriously.
